Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

The impact was earth-shattering; the giant tree trunk beneath their feet emitted a terrifying groan and cracking sound, as if it were about to snap in two at any moment!

The existing cracks on the stone door of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury instantly expanded and spread, crawling all over the door like a spider web. Even the huge stone door itself made a crisp sound as if it were collapsing under the weight of the impact!

In the distance, Jin Ping'er and Jiang Xiaochuan, who had finally turned their gaze away from the stone gate and refocused their eyes, both gasped in shock.

Upon seeing this, the yellow bird let out a furious, sharp cry that could shatter metal and split rocks. With a flap of its wings, the air currents in the high sky swirled and converged wildly, forming a huge tornado that was visible to the naked eye and connected the sky and the earth!

The yellow bird, carrying the might of heaven and earth, descended like a meteor, charging fiercely towards the black water serpent that had recklessly crashed into the stone gate, exposing its bare back!

The Blackwater Serpent let out a deafening roar of pain. Under the combined attack of the tornado and the yellow bird, its right scarlet snake eye suddenly burst open with a cloud of blood mist. It had been blinded by the yellow bird's sharp beak!

Almost at the same time that the Blackwater Serpent's right eye was destroyed and it let out a mournful roar.

"boom!!!"

Having withstood countless impacts and already teetering on the brink of collapse, the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury finally crumbled under that final, most violent collision. Shattered rocks and massive timbers, mixed with the remaining golden light within, shot outwards! Smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

As the dust settled, the roars and howls of the wind continued. Everyone could see that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury had been completely breached, leaving a huge gaping hole. The interior was a mess, yet the golden afterglow still lingered.

Amidst the smoke and dust, two figures staggered to their feet; it was Biyao and Lu Xueqi.

Both of them looked rather pale, clearly having dodged rather awkwardly at the last moment before the treasure vault collapsed; their hair and clothes were somewhat disheveled, but fortunately, they did not appear to be seriously injured.

The moment the treasure vault was broken open, the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird stared intently at the center of the vault. The wooden platform, though half-buried, still stubbornly emitted a seven-colored halo, as well as the intact wooden cup on the platform, the remaining transparent liquid in the cup, and the suspended strange stone!

The goal that has driven them to fight to the death is right before their eyes!

Biyao's gaze also fell on the wooden cup. A complex emotion flashed across her face, a mixture of sudden realization, determination, and an indescribable...understanding. As if she had made a decision in an instant, she suddenly moved!

She ignored Lu Xueqi, who was standing guard beside her, and disregarded the two terrifying beasts outside. Her figure moved like lightning, rushing straight towards the wooden platform half-hidden by broken wood. Her movements were so fast that even Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xueqi instinctively summoned Tianya, its tip pointing at Biyao, and shouted sharply, "What are you doing?"

Biyao had already reached the wooden platform, ignoring Lu Xueqi's questioning. She reached out and picked up the wooden cup with extreme speed and steadyness. Without even looking at it, she turned and walked towards Lu Xueqi, who was a few steps away.

Alarm bells rang in Lu Xueqi's mind. She gripped Tianya tightly, and sword energy surged from her body: "Stop!"

Biyao stopped three feet away from her, looking at her calmly, as if looking through her at some distant place.

Suddenly, she raised her wrist and, in a split second before Lu Xueqi could react or even imagine it, pointed the wooden cup at Lu Xueqi and thrust it forward, tilting it!

The last half-cup of transparent elixir in the cup, along with the floating, crystal-clear strange stone, was all poured into Lu Xueqi's slightly open mouth in astonishment!

Lu Xueqi: "!!!"

Everything happened too fast; from Biyao snatching the cup to forcing the medicine down her throat, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Caught off guard, Lu Xueqi felt a clear, sweet liquid, yet containing an indescribable surge of spiritual energy, enter her mouth and flow down her throat. The strange stone melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm current that, along with the spiritual medicine, instantly spread throughout her body. Before she could even spit it out, the power had already merged with her body.

As the elixir entered her stomach and the strange stone dissolved, Lu Xueqi felt an indescribable warm current explode, flowing to every inch of her meridians and every acupoint. The energy depleted from fighting Biyao and dodging during the collapse of the treasure vault was instantly replenished. Her spiritual power even began to surge, compress, and transform at an astonishing speed, and a cool breeze rushed straight to her spiritual platform.

Outside, the Blackwater Serpent, enraged by the pain and blindness, and the Yellow Bird, who was preparing to launch their next attack, both paused for a moment. The Blackwater Serpent's remaining single eye and the Yellow Bird's sharp gaze both turned to the white figure in the ruins of the treasure vault, whose body suddenly exuded an astonishing aura and a rich fragrance of spiritual herbs.

The ferocity and greed in the Blackwater Serpent's single eye reached their peak in an instant, while the Yellow Bird's eyes also revealed a boundless rage at being mocked and robbed!

"roar--!"

"cracking--!!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two ancient beasts, who had just been fighting to the death, suddenly became united against a common enemy. With their snake heads and bird beaks carrying the power to destroy everything, they charged down at Lu Xueqi, who had just received the spiritual medicine and whose aura was unstable. Their speed was as fast as lightning, and the bloody wind and gale they brought with them swept up the broken stones and wood on the ground!

"Watch out!" Biyao's expression changed drastically. She shouted sharply and, disregarding everything else, rushed over and grabbed Lu Xueqi's arm, which was still slightly stiff due to the sudden change in her spiritual power. She used all her strength to drag her to the side!

The two of them stumbled and fell away from where they were.

"boom!!!"

The Blackwater Serpent's enormous head and the Yellow Bird's sharp claws slammed down simultaneously onto the spot where they had just stood. The entire ground of the treasure vault ruins, along with a small section of tree trunk below, was completely reduced to dust by the two giant beasts' furious attack. Smoke and dust mixed with wood chips and gravel shot into the sky!

Biyao, pulling Lu Xueqi along, dodged and weaved through the billowing dust and flying debris. The Black Water Serpent writhed wildly on the tree trunk, its single eye blood-red, but being confined to the tree, it lacked effective means against aerial enemies. It hissed repeatedly, seemingly helpless, while Lu Xueqi had already absorbed the aura of the spiritual herbs, and their natural enemy was also present...

Finally, after another unsuccessful attack, the Blackwater Serpent roared in frustration, its massive body slowly loosening its grip on the tree trunk. Covered in horrific wounds and with its eyes blinded, it climbed down the giant tree into the boundless mist below, disappearing into the darkness.

But the crisis is not over!

Frustrated by its failure to seize the elixir, the yellow bird unleashed all its fury on the two "thieves" below! With its wings flapping and the wind howling, it relentlessly pursued Biyao and Lu Xueqi!

Although it was also seriously injured and its strength was greatly depleted, its speed and agility as the overlord of the sky were still intact. Biyao and Lu Xueqi, after a series of fierce battles and escapes, were already at their limit. As the distance between them was getting closer and closer, the yellow bird's sharp claws, which were flashing with cold light, almost touched their backs several times!

Biyao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her lungs were burning with pain. She quickly scanned her surroundings out of the corner of her eye, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, she noticed that not far ahead, amidst the devastation caused by the battle between the two giant beasts, a small area remained completely intact!

It was a small flowerbed, the vines still green and the flowers blooming on their own, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the broken environment around it.

Even more strangely, within the flowerbed area, under the sunlight shining through the thin mist, faint dark red, seemingly chaotic yet containing some kind of mysterious light patterns flashed across the ground.

Her heart skipped a beat as she remembered some of her father Ghost King's previous arrangements and instructions.

Although uncertain, this is the only "path" right now, and it may not be a way out!

"Follow me!" Biyao shouted at Lu Xueqi, whose aura was fluctuating and who seemed to be trying to digest the surge of spiritual power in her body while also having to dodge, with all her might. She then suddenly changed direction and rushed diagonally towards the strange flower garden!
